The present disclosure provides computer vision systems and methods for an aircraft. The computer vision systems and methods identify a runway based on video frame data from a camera mounted to the aircraft, extract runway pixel positions associated with the runway, determine the aircraft position in a real world coordinate frame based on the pixel positions, the aircraft position including an aircraft lateral position and an aircraft elevation, receive predefined aircraft position data and go-around rules for a compliant approach to the runway, calculate an aircraft position deviation based on the aircraft position and the predefined aircraft position data, determine whether the aircraft position deviation is in conformance with the go-around rules, and output an indication of conformity with the go-around rules.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
5. The computer vision system of claim 1, wherein the runway pixel positions comprise at least three runway pixel positions.
6. The computer vision system of claim 1, wherein the reference aircraft position data is received from a global positioning system.
11. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the runway pixel positions comprise at least three runway pixel positions.
12. The computer vision system of claim 7, wherein the reference aircraft position data is received from a global positioning system.
17. The method of claim 13, wherein the runway pixel positions comprise at least three runway pixel positions.
